How to Vote for President

Proverbs 29:2
Today we are talking about what the Bible says about ''HOW TO VOTE FOR PRESIDENT.'' We will soon be going to the polls and voting in the most important election of our lifetime. The very future of our Republic is at stake. No Christian can rightly take this responsibility lightly.
Our nation is hurting spiritually, physically, morally, and economically. We must pray that the right person be elected who can help to begin to heal the ills of our country.

Proverbs 29:2 ''When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.''

We are a citizen, of course, in the country in which we live, the United States. And we are to be good citizens. And we are a citizen of a heavenly kingdom, the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. And we are to be ...
